Move to the Cloud Without the Downtime.
Whether you are retiring an aging server, consolidating email, or going fully cloud-native, Northgate plans and executes migrations that keep your business running the entire time.
- Microsoft 365 & Azure
- AWS workloads
- Zero-downtime cutovers
Migrations That Don't Interrupt Business.
A cloud migration should be invisible to your staff and your customers. We treat every move as a project with a plan: we inventory what you have, design the target environment, run a pilot with a small group, and then cut over in stages with a tested rollback at every step. Data is migrated and verified before anyone switches, so Monday morning simply works. Once you are live, the same Northgate team manages and secures your cloud environment — you are never handed the keys and left to figure out billing, backups, and permissions on your own.
What We Migrate.
Microsoft 365 & Email
Consolidate email, calendars, and files onto Microsoft 365 with mailboxes migrated and verified before cutover.
Azure & AWS Workloads
Lift-and-shift or re-architect line-of-business servers and applications into Azure or AWS with cost controls in place.
Files to SharePoint & OneDrive
Retire aging file servers and move shared drives to secure, permission-mapped SharePoint and OneDrive.
Line-of-Business Apps
Migrate or modernize the specialized applications your business runs on, with vendor coordination handled for you.
Backup & Disaster Recovery
Cloud backup and tested recovery so your data survives hardware failure, ransomware, or human error.
Legacy Server Decommissioning
Safely retire on-prem hardware once workloads are verified in the cloud — no more aging boxes in a closet.
Cloud Migration FAQ.
Will my team lose access during the migration?
No. We migrate and verify data ahead of time and cut over in stages, usually outside business hours, with a tested rollback. Most users notice nothing beyond signing in once.Should we go fully cloud or keep some on-prem?
It depends on your applications, compliance needs, and budget. We assess your environment and recommend the mix that actually fits — sometimes hybrid is the right answer.Will the cloud cost more than our servers?
We right-size and put cost controls in place so you pay for what you use. Many clients save once you factor in hardware refresh, power, and maintenance.Do you manage the environment after migration?
Yes. Ongoing management, security, backups, and cost optimization of your cloud environment are part of our managed plans.
